Common Questions

Is this a scam?

No. The California State Controller's Office holds billions in unclaimed property. This is public record — you can verify at claimit.ca.gov. We're a private company registered with the State that helps people navigate the claim process.

Why should I pay 10% instead of claiming myself?

You can absolutely claim for free at claimit.ca.gov. We exist because the process involves paperwork, ID verification, and potentially notarization. We handle all of that. Many people prefer to have someone manage it for them.

How do I know this is legitimate?

We're registered with the California State Controller's Office as an Investigator. Our fee is capped at 10% by law (CCP Section 1582). The State pays you directly — we never touch your money.

How long does it take to get my money?

Simple claims (under $5,000) typically process in 10-30 days. Larger claims may take 60-180 days depending on verification requirements. We keep you updated at every step.
